Ebola cases in DR Congo surpass 3,000 - as health workers go on strike

The Democratic Republic of Congo is facing an unprecedented Ebola crisis with over 3,000 confirmed cases, marking the fastest-growing outbreak in history. Adding to the challenge, health workers have gone on strike, citing safety concerns and unpaid wages, which complicates efforts to contain the virus. This situation highlights the dire need for urgent international support to bolster healthcare infrastructure and ensure the safety of medical staff, as the strike threatens to further exacerbate the outbreak's spread. The crisis underscores the broader implications for global health security, as weak healthcare systems can't effectively manage such outbreaks.
